I was hoping to attend, but as I currently have a very painful frozen shoulder, I left the final decision to the last moment. I was hoping it would start improving, but it's been getting worse, so I can't make it. I had the same thing happen to my left shoulder a few years ago, that's now 90% OK. I ...

I'm provisionally interested, Maldon is only a 63 mile run along the M25 then mainly the A12 if I leave straight after work on the Friday, and I haven't been in the area for a few years. I had a day out there once, then I bought my 210 mm lens from someone nearby at South Woodham Ferrers and spent a...

All I've used is a polariser to increase saturation and cut down on glare from the leaves when shooting colour.

I went there last year, the acer glade was very muddy, wellies would have been ideal. I lost one of the rubber feet from my manfrotto tripod in the mud, its still got the walking stick rubber on it I added as a temporary measure. This year I'll investigate places closer to home.

Six of us met up at Dungeness, it was very hot but still a great day. Good to meet everyone else.

I need to put together a little package of colour E6 to send to Peak, and develop my B&W this weekend.

Peter, welcome to the forum. You must have seen some changes in photography over the years. My oldest memories were using 127 and 620 film as a boy.

Hi Sean,

Welcome to the group. Hope you can make it Sunday. Last time I was there it was only a fleeting visit, it was the last stop after visiting Sissinghurst and Great Dixter gardens.

I saw the exhibition in Oxford on the last day before it closed there. It is certainly worth visiting.

Paul, I'm picking up Alan at 7am, we should arrive at the parking space around 8.15'ish. I'll pm you my mobile number.


Any more for any more? Dungeness is a great place to photograph, fingers crossed for a dry day and good light.

It will be good to meet you Paul. Like you, I've never shot Dungeness with LF. Once my LF kit was in the car but it was too windy to take out. We'll probably be meeting in the small parking area on the right of the road about 1/4 mile before the pub. The track to the boats is opposite the parking ar...

LF Dungeness Meet

Alan Golding and myself are visiting Dungeness in Kent for the day on Sunday July 27th. The shingle bank scattered with working and abandoned boats, fisherman's huts and the remains of the fishing industry are ideal subjects for LF photography. The final arrangements haven't been made yet, but its l...

I use a Manfrotto 055P minus its centre column with an 029 head. Not featherlight but perfectly stable with my Toyo 45. I lost a rubber foot from it a while ago, got stuck in some mud, temp replaced with a walking stick rubber foot. I'm quite happy with these legs and head.

The exhibition at MOMA in Oxford is only 25 miles from me, so I must find time to go over and see it.
